    I hosted a celebration dinner here. Beautiful ambience! The restaurant service was great and on the day there was a live jazz band that lifted the vibe and made my dinner special. Food and drinks wise, the menu is limited, but the food we ordered was good. The chicken and avo pasta being the best as per my guests comments.

    We went to the Sanctuary for the Labia experience. The service and food were great. We ordered the Mama Mia and grilled chicken & avo pasta. Labia deal includes 2x half portion pastas and 2x Labia movie tickets for R200. Will definitely go back.
